Bitcoin Hyper Presale Tops $26 Million as Project Pitches SVM-Based Bitcoin Layer 2

Funding reflects interest in a proposed SVM-based Bitcoin Layer 2 that remains pre-audit and pre-mainnet.

Overview

  • $HYPER’s raise has surpassed roughly $26 million, with the presale page showing a token price near $0.013225 and advertised staking of up to 45% for early buyers.
  • Project materials describe an execution layer using the Solana Virtual Machine and a canonical bridge to move BTC in and out while batching commitments back to Bitcoin for settlement.
  • The team cites goals of sub-second transactions, near-instant finality, and low fees to enable BTC-native DeFi and dApps, all of which remain unproven until launch.
  • Roadmap coverage says audits are planned before the token generation event, followed by phased milestones that include mainnet, bridge activation, exchange listings, and DAO governance.
  • Articles note multiple six-figure on-chain purchases and renewed attention alongside a short-term BTC bounce, with some reports pointing to a target launch window around Q4 2025 to Q1 2026.
